An enthusiastic aomirer Of the Ayrshire
cattle for milk giving and cheese proanc-
Ing, speaks as follows for them in the
columns Of the London Live Sock jour
nal: In no class OF dairy COW has
thu milk vessel attained such
degree of perfection as in the Ayrshire.
In all the other milking breeds, the udder
milk vessel, the bag IS it is usually called,
wants the size, symmetry and general
capacity for production belonging TO tie
ayrshire. In few things have breeders Of
any class attained the end aimed st with
greater precision than IN the udder OF the
ayrshire. IN the well developed animol
il fills up all the space
between the legs, from the tail
forward TO the rim OF the
belly, being square behind and almost
level below. Contrasted with the udders
Of cry Of the other milking breeds, they
appear as bSge, which they are called, in
stead OF sn abnormal development OF d
vessel, which has been bred up to pre-
conceived standard. as & cheese pro
ducing animal the Ayrshire stands PROB
ably higher than any other when pToduc-
ton from given quality and quantity OF
food and the weight Of the animal Is
taken into account. Owing to its hardy
nature it Can live and produce milk salts
factorily on hsTe, exposed situations,
where NEST Of the other dairy breeds
could scarcely support themselves.
Owing to the various circumstances ua-
der which it lives, its production OF milk
or cheese is very irregular. On the moor
edges, billsides and bsrer clay lands,
when the fare is poor, summer short, and
cow small in size, the quantity Ct milk
yielded probably does not exceed $50 or
ATS gallons on an average, producing
from cwt. to Al cWt. of cheese.
The actual production Of cheese over
the average Of the counties bordering on
the Firth of Clyde, do not expect much
exceeds 3 I-2 ut. for each cow. To this
has to be sdded the milk used for family
use, snd what is inside into butter both at
the beginning and end Of the season, ard
what is required to rear the calves.
